Be Careful What You Pray For

Acts 3

1. WE MUST DIE TO SELF AND POINT PEOPLE TO CHRIST. 3:1-10
2. WE MUST LEARN TO NEVER GO BEYOND WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS IN WHAT WE TELL PEOPLE ABOUT GOD. Warren Wiersbe, “God promised healing and prosperity to Israel, but He never gave those promises to the New Testament church…There comes a time when children must learn to obey, not because obedience is profitable, but because it is right.”Leon Morris, “…in the narratives of Acts, there are few miracles of healing, but the emphasis is on the mighty work of conversion. On the day of Pentecost, more were added to the band of believers than throughout the entire earthly ministry of Jesus.” John MacArthur, “We must realize that even if Christians would heal everybody the way Jesus did, everyone would not believe the Gospel. After all Jesus’ healings, they crucified him.”
3. ANYTHING GOD DOES IS SO THAT JESUS MIGHT BE PREACHED AND DECISIONS CALLED FOR. 3:12 -26
   1. He states the facts.
   2. He stands on facts.
   3. He offered God’s prescription for guilt. vs. 16-19.
